Answer:
Mr. O'neill buy 33 turkey slices.
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly let us denote <em>amount of money spent on Cheese by the symbol C.</em>
<em> amount of money spent on Turkey by the symbol T.</em>
<em> amount of money spent on Wheat by the symbol W.</em>
Now we are the ratio of amount of money spent on cheese to the amount of money spent on turkey slices as 2:3 ;
We can represent this as =
The ratio of the amount of money spent on cheese to the amount of money spent on wheat rolls is 6:5 ;
We can represent this as =
Now we will make C also 6 in the first ratio to represent similarity in ratios i.e. =
=
So, the ratio of amount of money spent on cheese to the amount of money spent on turkey slices to the amount of money spent on wheat rolls is represented by 6 : 9 : 5.
To find the amount of money spent on turkey slices = = $24.75
Since cost of each turkey slice cost = $ 0.75
Therefore, Cost of each turkey slice * Number of turkey slices = Total amount of money spent on turkey slices
$0.75 * Number of turkey slices = $24.75
Therefore, Number of turkey slices that Mr. O'neill buy = $24.75/$0.75
= 33 slices.
